Subject: assistance past today

I am so very sorry I have missed the workshop today. I hope it went well. I am a new resident in the neighborhood, and architect specializing in residential work with some experience master planning and landscape design, and I would LOVE to help. If there is anything I can do past today please email me at <gjones_tenonearchitecture> and I would gladly devote as much time as is required. Please let me know if I can help - I hope I can.

How did this go? Was there a good turnout?

stacey

There was a great turnout - lots of families. The committee did an excellent job. It was so much fun and really great to see so many young families with children have moved into the area. It was a great unifying experience. I hope soon they can post the designs that the kids and adults came up with. I was also very impressed that Councilwoman James was there to support the kids and the efforts of the community.

PS - MrJones - I sent you a PM with the information for you.

mrjones

got it. Ill send an email and am excited to do whatever I can.
